Pambre Castle, Medieval fortress in Palas de Rei, Spain.

The Castle of Pambre features a central quadrangular tower connected to four smaller towers at the vertices through granite walls and battlements.

Built in 1375 by Gonzalo Ozores de Ulloa, this fortress withstood the Irmandiño Revolt of 1467 when local populations rebelled against Galician nobility.

The castle complex includes a traditional Galician granary and a 12th-century chapel dedicated to San Pedro within its defensive walls.

The castle opens Tuesday through Sunday from 11:30 to 13:00 and 16:00 to 20:00, offering visitors access to medieval military architecture.

The fortress walls measure between 2 and 2.5 meters thick, incorporating granite masonry and squared ashlars throughout the entire structure.
